By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

If you are auditing your business banking costs in El Paso, BoA's fee picture comes in three parts: the published schedule, the realistic waiver thresholds, and the regulator record. This page covers all three, sources cited.

International card fees

Bank of America business debit cards typically carry a ~3% foreign transaction fee on international purchases. For a TX business with international vendors, software subscriptions billed from outside the US, or international travel, this fee compounds quickly. Mercury and RHO debit cards have lower or zero foreign transaction fee structures depending on tier. Verify the specific card terms on BoA's published schedule before relying on the percentage above.
